Carrierwave::Box

Now you can use box.net/box.com with Carrierwave.

Easy to config, easy use, and helpful.

You can use box.net/box.com to store image (i was check, it working with rails to show image in view).

Gem will auto generater access token, don't worry about access token. :D

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'carrierwave-box'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install carrierwave-box

Note:

In your developer web view, you need to set return uri to: http://localhost

Usage

So simple:

  • Config for carrierwave:

      CarrierWave.configure do |config|
        config.box_client_id = 'your_client_id'
        config.box_client_secret = 'your_secret_id'
        config.box_email = 'your_box_email'
        config.box_password = 'your_box_password'
        config.box_access_type = "box"
        config.cache_dir = "#{Rails.root}/tmp/uploads"
        config.enable_processing = true
      end

Special of this gem:

- Gem will auto generater access token.

- No need time to get access token.

- Why box.net/box.com is so difficult to do gem: Access token is only valid in 60 minutes. :(

- With gem you can easy to use, but notice time to upload will be longer. (it depend your internet and your vps/computer).
  • How to integate:
    class FileUpload < ActiveRecord::Base
      # Upload picture
      mount_uploader :file_name, AbcUploader
    end
    class AbcUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
      # Include RMagick or MiniMagick support:
      # include CarrierWave::RMagick
      # include CarrierWave::MiniMagick
      # Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:
      storage :box
    end
  • To show image in view with Rails

EX:

= image_tag FileUpload.last.file_name.url
